The Influence of the Saloon.

[George F. Parsons in the January Atlantic.
 What would be thought of the medical administration which, in the time of great epidemic, concerned itself chiefly in provi- ding additional hospital accommodations, and paid no attention to the origin and mode of prevention of the prevailing diseasea In the case of the saloon in society the facts are continually iu evidence. Our police courts are mainly occupied with the petty offenses
 which spring directly or indirectly from drink. Through them drift the myriad
 wrecks which strew the path of progress.
 In them IS exhibited, every day and all day,
 the extent, depth, paralyzing influence of the saloon. It is bad enough in politics, but it's
 social effects, especially among the FOOT,
 are as those of pestilence. The ernder
 element of the community is brutalized
 and retarded in it's growth by this inf1u-
 ence. Another element, that of the physi- cally or intellectually feeble (always con- siderable and increasing with the growth of competitive pressure,) is condemned to a wretched fate by the same instrnmeptal.ty The people who have nQtsthe energy of mind or body to form clear and practical purposes, oF to put them in operation if formed, are the easiest victims of the sa- loon. As rule they are sensitive, often morbidly so. They brood over their weak
 ness and their failures. Naturally prone to depression, they become iaendiced and de- l spending. From thas state of mind to the craving for any kind of stimuls:..nt the tran sition is natural and swift. and the saloon does the rest. There are thousands of families doomed to indulgence, disap-
 pointment, misery through life, that might have lived at least in decent poverty and with self-respect, but to-day are plunged I in hopeless ruin by drink, and are sinking Tout of sight in the quicksand.
